Rhonda Kelloway | LCSW, SEP, Trauma Specialist

[ep 64] Rhonda Kelloway’s bio: “An interesting mix of professional training, skills and life experience adds a unique richness to what I offer clients. A crossroads experience in my late 20s got me off the fast track and onto a path of self-discovery that led to my present career, which I love and consider my true vocation. My graduate training included stints at a state psychiatric hospital and a community counseling center, and after working at a Christian non-profit agency for several years, I began a private practice in 2005. I love to learn new techniques that can help clients, so I also have been trained as a divorce mediator and received advanced training in EMDR and Somatic Experiencing, gentle and effective treatments for trauma resolution. One of the reasons I connect so well with my clients is that I’ve had such a diversity of experiences. I know the stress of the work and political worlds, a long-distance relationship, disconnection from family, career confusion and change, dealing with a loved one’s addiction, spiritual crisis, infertility, adoption, special needs parenting, divorce after a long marriage, and dealing with aging parents and dementia. I have experienced the healing of therapy, support groups and body-energy work, and can offer hope from my own experience, as well as from my professional training. I help clients create a life of joy despite the challenges. I see clients in the Glen Ellyn office.”
